I am not that familiar with Canadian schools; however, Wellesley does have a MUCH better reputation than Smith (#4 liberal arts college in the country). May daughter attended and said its academics were first rate and the college really catered to its students. It is true that the area around Wellesley does not offer as much as Northampton but, as you said, there is a Wellesley bus to Boston, and Wellesley students do use it. My daughter said this arrangement helped her to study during the week but gave her access to a lot more activities than Northampton could offer on the weekends. That is what I can share about the area and the national reputation for the two schools.
